Vyvian's rhodomontade—beneath contempt.-111orn incr Chronicle. We, in common with the Times, spoke in severe terms of the conduct of Lord Brudenell, when the publication of the sentence of the court-martial brought his case before the public. We have seen nothing to induce us to abandon the opinions we expressed at the time, of the unfitness of his Lordship to command a regiment. It is, however, we know, the opinion of several distinguished officers, that Lord Brudenell has been hardly used ; but be this as it may, we are quite certain his Lordship, with the b es t i n t en tions in th e wor ld, can i.sver obtain that authority in a regiment which its colonel ought to possess.. We, therefore, must regard Lord Brudepell's appoint ment as indicative of anything but sound discretion. But we do not wish to bear hard on his Lordship. In . he has been placed by the C o mmander-in-Chief in a situation which is anything but an enviable one. It is the system which call e for our reprobation. Lord Hill is an inyerium is inyerio. He is the irrespon-. sible head of the army. It is quite clear that Mini sters would never liave given a regiment to Lord Bru denell, and we have seen that they carefully repudiated the responsibility of the appointment. The subject will soon come before Parliament, when the anomalous state of the command of the army will no doubt obt?sln the attention which it deserves. Sir William .I.'ioles worth, however sensible of the unfitness of -Lord Bru denell for the command of a regiment, car, have no vin dictive feelings in the . case. His ()hied, no doubt, is to secure to the people the bent of constitutional principle of responsibility in t'ne army as well as in the other branches of authority. It has always been under stood that the King can do no wrong, but that every man who acts under him is responsible for what lie does. But the Commander-in-Chi e f of the Army, can do no wrong any more than the King. To what consequences may not such a protection .from responsibility lead? A Commander-in-Chief may be undermining the au thority of his Royal master, and that master may be in a delusion with respect to his conduct, and yet there are no means of repressing the evil. When the King names Ministers who abuse his confidence, Parlia ment may interpose, and his Majesty must select other advisers. Without such a power of interpo sition, there would be no difference between a con stitutional and an arbitrary monarchy. So long as Kings are liable, like other men, to err, it is fitting that the people.should have a negative on their choice. But in withdrawing the command of the army from re sponsibility, the infallibility of the Monarch is ries dared. We trust that this unconstitutional pate of things will not be suffered to continue mach longer. Every branch of the Royal authority snust be executed by responsible Ministers.—Morning . Chronicle. The public actor, whose serformances form the most attractive feature of that farce presented to the nation under the title of the " Melbourne Ministry," has just appeared at Nottingham. The secret of this display it is possible that we may not possess ; but, at all events, we shall hazard a conjecture, and leave it to time to prove how far we are correct. Before so doing, we will shortly notice the acting of the political mounte bank just mentioned. With considerable stage effect, the all, but unseated Member for Dublin accompanied his first bow to the Nottingham audience with the fol lowing words :—" There was only one calumny ever uttered against me that I ever thought it worth my while to deny. It is so base a calumny, that I scarcely find it possible to pronounce it from my lips. They dare to assert that I was degraded enough to traduce the maids and the matrons of England. It is the only calumny I ever deigned to answer ; and my answer to it is, that it is a lie." The depth of " degradation" to which this man is capable of descending is a matter on which he is more competent than ourselves to decide. So, also, on the magnitude of a lie he is undoubtedly a great authority, having had wider and more irrespon sible experience in " lying" than any man in the three kingdoms. But we beg to say, that something more than the bare assertion of one who had the brutal au dacity to call the brother of the King of England a " mighty great liar"—something more than such a person's assertion is necessary to falsify any charge whatever. When Lord Stanley filled the office of Secretary for Ireland, with a vigour and ability, and a resolute determination, which made the Agitator quail, this very O'Connell softened his style of eloquence to a tone which then (the Whigs not being yet debased by political prostitution) lie deemed necessary to conciliate the attention of a British House of Commons. Lord Stanley begged the House to beware of receiving this mode of expression as a fair sample of the Agitator's rhetorical resources. The Secretary for Ireland told the assembled Commons of Great Britain, that Mr. O'Connell had one style of eloquence for the Senate, and another for the slavish populate over wham he wields his mean and mercenary sway. In England, we are honoured by his admissism of the bravery, the enter prise, the energy, the patriotism of our national cha racter. In Ireland, " Saxon," " Sassenagh," and every opprobrious epithet which the basest mind can dictate, and the foulest mouth can utter, is applied to the same people before whom this cowardly spirit shrinks when meeting them face to face. And when they, the manly population, who probably deem his disgusting ribaldry against themselves unworthy of a thought, evince a disposition to resent his outrageous language employed against the defenceless women of England, he at a public meeting invites any one amongst the assembled crowd to refer to the precise speech in which a passage so inexpressibly disgraceful is to be found ! If we are not mistaken, this burly declaimer, at or about the time when Lord Brougham from the woolsack quoted that withering sentence from the Italian poet, describing the sense of dependenee as being one which made every fibre quiver with shame, and denounced the rent as the vilest degradation—if we mistake not, Mr. O'Connell revenged himself by stat ing, that Lord Brougham talked a greater amount of nonsense than any man in Britain. He added, that more nonsense at any given time might be spoken by some individuals, but that the aggregate of that com modity was undoubtedly furnished by the Noble and Learned Lord. We have no wish to deprive Lord Brougham of any portion of the fame thus assigned to him, but, giving him credit for the nonsense spoken of, we venture to say that in another respect Mr. O'Connell surpasses the Noble Lord, and all other men who have ever disturbed the peace of society—we allude to the unmitigated ruffianism of his rhetorical displays. Never, we believe, in any civilized community did a man of the average order of talent disgrace the very language in which lie spoke, by a series of vituperation directed indiscriminately against all ranks, from the throne to the cottage, before this Mr. O'Connell, protected by his " vow in heaven," and his priest on earth, carried contumely and cowardice to the very climax of their detestable distinction. And it is somewhat too impudent even for the brazen front of this man, that lie, when reproached .with his villainous insinuations against the womenjof our country, should refer us to his abusive career, and- rcquest us to select from that mass of filth the special abomination complained of. Inasmuch as this person has the oratorical distinctions of strong lungs and a patient audience, it may be worth while for a moment to say a word on his claims to the attention of an intelligent body of men. In a country free and enlightened as our own, nothing can be more natural than that one of the most graceful and manly arts, that of eloquence, should be sure of attaining public distinction. But on this very account ii is highly important that the national taste should not be vitiated. When Mr. Canning, perhaps the most accomplished speaker that ever addressed the House of Commons, permitted himself an expression with refe rence to physical suffering little worthy of his accus tomed taste and kindly feeling, it required not the stern rebuke of Sir Samuel Romilly to awaken repug 'lance in the public mind. The national mind re. volted at such a style of remark. And are we to en. lure from a mercenary adventurer, alien in feeling, in principle, in all that constitutes character, a con stant succession of such violations of propriety merely because he has that which Mr. Canning certainly bad not —a cowardly protection in his so-called vow in Heaven ? We are in the recollection of the average amount of our readers when stating, that since this man s appearance amo ng us, since he transferred the exercise of his boasted powers from the drunken rabble of Dublin to the Senate of England, more unjustifia ble abuse of the privileges of debate, and of public oratory generally, has occurred than ever before de- graded the intellectual history of these kingdoms. His satellite, Mr. Shed, had the distinction of wounding, Prince, then heir presump tive best he might, a dying But it was "reserved to the Throne of fui the " mighty great liar" himself, in the course of one short ;•ear, shielded by a Geethment so un-Eng lish and utterly unworthy that we know of no language strong enough tz express the national scorn entertained for their political slavery—it was reserved for this than to nutrage every decency of social life=to attack his Majesty in the person .?f hip nearest relative—to heap abuse on the flecks° of Lords, and to call the most Illus trious man ni this, or perhaps of any age, " a stunted corporal"—to denounce the men of i3iiglanil as ty rants over his country, and the Women of England as strumpets in then own. This, we are happy to say, is the most perishable of all modes of securing public distinction in England. That in the ferment which for the last few years has brought the basest particles to the surface of the social stream Mr. O'Con nell and " his tail" may have found encouragement is, we fear, not without some truth. That he, or they, can by such means maintain any hold on the respect of our felloir-countrymen we cannot, we will not, believe. For surely personal demeanour which would not be tolerated at a parochial meeting in any part of the kingdom can receive no continued countenance from the British public. In the calm to which we are firmly convinced the Conservative feeling is settling down throughout the country, Englishmen will, while rallying round the institutions, be reminded of the usages of their forefathers. Then, of course, the reign of ruffianism will be at an end. It does not recur to us that any particular remark is called for by the recent specimen of the " sprawling" style of oratory with which the Hibernian mendicant has favoured " the children of a larger growth" at Nottingham. But, as we said at the outset, we shall hazard a conjecture as to the primary cause of this display. It is as follows. And should we happen to be in error, it will be competent to Lord J. Russell, Lord Palmerston, Lord Morpeth, or any other " ready writer" of the Government to contradict us. We are given to understand that the Ministers, finding our foreign and colonial policy beyond the scope of their capabilities, are disposed to amuse themselves with a domestic disturbance in the shape of a general election. In furtherance of this object, they renev: ed the " mission" of Mr. O'Connell, and sent him to Not tingham for the purpose of addressing the factious of all classes throughout the empire. To give a thorough Wh.and Ministerial colouring t o thi s m i ss i on , Sir 0 Ronald Ferguson was appointed aide-de-camp to the Agitator. Never was a worse tactician, we think, employed than this gallant officer. He is reported by the organs of Government to have delivered the fol lowing sentence :—" He (Sir R. Ferguson) would tell them honestly and shortly, that h§ mind was made up, and that his thorough conviction was, that it was one of the foulest conspiracies that was ever concocted by a dying faction." Now really, from the perusal of ,his passage, one might naturally suppose that the Honourable Gentleman was characterizing the very "mission" on which he was sent. Was there ever a " faction" more manifestly " dying" than this of the Whig-Radicals ? Was there ever a " con spiracy" more " foul" than that in which the degene rate Whigs and rampant Radicals are now engaged ? But let us be just to Sir R. Ferguson. This was not his meaning. The " foul conspiracy" of which he complained was that so shocking to the sensibilities of his " dying faction"—namely, the inquiry into the conduct of Mr. O'Connell as regards a matter which, to use the words of Lord Stawley, it was incumbent upon the Hon. and Learned Member to explain to the satisfaction of the House and the country. Sir Ronald Ferguson is more amusing than he intended when calling a necessary inquiry a " foul conspiracy." Sir - Ronald told the meeting that he had been a Member of the Carlow Committee, and that he thought it his duty to repudiate the aspersion which it had been sought to cast upon Mr. O'Connell. The evidence of this inquiry is before the public, and we leave every one of our readers to adjudge the palm between the gaping gullibility of the Nottingham feeders and the astound ing assertion of the Agitator's Aide-de-camp. In short, our notice of the whole affair cannot be better concluded than by repeating the quotation employed by Mr. O'Connell with reference to the leading Commoner of England—a quotation wholly inapplicable to that distinguished Senator, but containing a condensed esti mate of the Agitator's own claims on the popular re gard : _ _ " Of promise prodigal, when power you want, Great speeching skill, and self-approving cant." —Times. Although the public have been for some time in possession of selections from the evidence-taken by the Irish Poor Law Commissioners, their full report is yet to be produced. It has been forwarded to Government, and will soon, we presume, become a prominent object of Parliamentary discussion and public attention. In the mean time, the slight sketch which has transpired of the leading points in the report calls for some no tice, and the rather as this is a subject which can scarcely be too frequently or too earnestly urged upon the Consideration of the people of this kingdom. The motives of enlightened humanity, of national respec tability, and of personal interest, all conspire to make the question of the improvement of the condition of the Irish population one of almost paramount importance. It must be continually a disgrace and an injury, and it may become a matter of very great danger, that in a part of the United Kingdom which, in consequence of the modern facilities of communication, is not more than thirty hours' journey from the richest parts of England, an immense population should exist, which is periodically brought to the most desperate con dition of extreme want, and is always upon the verge of it. It seems to be, as it were, losing time to enter into minute inquiries of the particular causes, moral and political, which have led to this effect. The ap palling, dreadful fact, and the i mme di a t e reme dy f or which it calls, are enough to occupy us for the present. When we find a fellow-creature perishing, from expo sure, or from some accident not duly attended to, we do not stop to inquire whether the imprudence of the individual, or the neglect of those who should have taken care of him, has occasioned the misfortune. We instantly .give our own aid, and call for the aid of others to alleviate or put an end to the suffering ; and we would deem it to be unmanly and inhuman to hesi tate. In what does the case of a great number of our fellow -creatures differ from the case of an individual, save in the greater importance of the former ? If the greater difficulty of aff or di ng re li e f b e suggeste d as a reason why ,it should not be attempted when the mis fortune of a multitude is concerned, we may reply that the difficulty to the British nation, if it were but en countered with earnestness, would not be greater in proportio n than that of one individual to relieve another. The nation which spent a thousand millions of money to resist and overthrow the military tyrant of Continental Europe can surely elevate Ireland from pauperism, if it sets about that object with an earnest heart and a firm resolution .to persevere. The report states, according to the sketch of it which has been published, that there arc five agricultural labourers in Ireland for every two that there are for the same quan tity of cultivated land in Great Britain. Now every one who knows anything about the state of the cul tivated land of both countries, must be aware that the most marked difference between the two lies in this— that whereas in England every thi ng seems t o b e d one for th e l an d which labour can do for it, in Ireland nothing is done for the land, except that without which cultivation of any kind could not go on. It is ploughed and sowed, and reaped, and ploughed again; but fe nc i ng , and draining, and dressing—clearing of ditches, an d p l ant i ng and cutting of hedges — repairing gates and fa rm b u i ldings, and the thousand et ceteras which are all attended to in England, arc not at all attended to in Ireland as a general rule. It is, then, no wonder that the report should proceed to tell us that in Ireland there are upwards of half a million of labourers out of employment for the greater part of the y ear , an d that they and their families, to the amount alto g ether of more than two millions, are in a state of destitution. Who is there that can hear this and say "let it thus continue ?" Two millioals of people in utter destitution I The eleventh part of the whole population of the United King :loin of Great Britain and Ireland—the richest, the nost powerful, the most intelligent, and the most humane nation of the earth—rn a state of per petual and hopeless hunger ! Can such things be, and not startle us from our dreams df Ode and security to iiteint. ekeftion ? It is not merely that tWd inillirms of human beings suffer privations — that they have not quite enough. No, it is much more than this—it is the horrible extremes of want of food, and clothes, and shelter, which they suffer. Many of them die annually of tilted. Watit, heaps of them ate sick, and of such as have not the happiness to be released by death, the recovery is retarded by want of proper nourishment. There are dispensaries to provide. physic for them but What they want is food, and there is no establishment that provide that. The most noxious food—weeds, and unripe roots, and unwholesome shell fish (if they be near the sea), are eagerly devoured a t cer t a i n seasons o f the year ; and all - this happens at a time when political eco nomists tell us that we are over producing wheat, and that we have no right to complain of the low price, because we glut the market with the produce of lands which ought not to he cultivated ! Shall these frightful anomalies go on, without notice or remedy, while Members of Parliament are worked out, of all patience with COmmittees upon every piece of nensense which pampered discontent insolently thrusts upon the attention of the Legislature ? Government has evidently a reluctance to enter upon this question. Ministers are too much perplexed with party matters, and the demands of their "Liberal" supporters, to have leisure and resolution for so great a subject. It is one which only concerns the rescue of two millions of our fellow-creatures and fellow-subjects, and near neigh bours, from the horrors of periodical famine and per petual want. It is, therefore, postponed, while ques tions which concern party influence, and the transfer of local power from men professing one set of opinions to men professing another, are discussed and adjusted. The leaders on the Opposition side of the House seem as little disposed to press this question as the Minis ters are to introduce it. It is too great and too prac tical a subject 'for either party to take up until it is forced upon them by some strong manifestation of na tional feeling, the time for which is, we trust, not far distant. The modes of relief which we understand are suggested for the existing distresses of the Irish poor we shall take another opportunity of noticing and dis cussing. To those who would wish to make them selves more fay acquainted with the nature and ex tent of those distresses, we recommend a perusal of the " Selections" from the evidence, which have been pub lished by authority ; or, for a yet more condensed, but very powerfully-written account, to an article on the " State of the Irish Poor" in the Dublin University Magazine for April. There are some observations in that article, upon the spirit in which the subject ought to be considered, which are in our opinion so just, and proper to be impressed on every mind, that we cannot more appropriately conclude our present notice of the matter to which they relate- than by ex tracting them :—" Above all things we would impress upon our readers the madness as well as wickedness of regarding as a party question, a question with which party has nothing to do ;—a question in which bene volence should still every disturbing emotion that might draw us off from the glorious, the politically Catholic object of relieving distress ; in which the sacred voice of charity should hush into silence the angry jarrings of political discord. It is, we repeat, evident to any one who studies the evidence before us, that Ireland is in a state which cannot continue, and which is growing so rapidly worse, as to render a tho rough change of system imperative. To render that change a blessing instead of a scourge, it must be, as it ought to be, guided and produc e d by a calm, s t ea dy, and wise—and that is by a Conservative—hand."— . Morning Herald. • The subject of flogging in the army continues to engross much of the public attention. It is a mode of preserving military discipline so foreign to the feel ings of Englishmen, that the great body of the pe o pl e of this country cannot contemplate it without any other emotions than those of unqualified disgust. With the tide of public feeling setting in so strongly against the revolting practice, it will be impossible for its advocates to enforce that species of punishment much longer. It ought to have been abolished long ago. The Duke of Wellington, Sir Henry Hardinge, and other Tory officers, men who know no other prin ciples of government than those of terror; may talk as they please of the impossibility of preserving discipline in the army by any other means ; but the people of England will attach no credit to their re presentations. How happens it that not only - do no such obnoxious punishment exist in several of the continental armies, at this moment, but that, in many instances, those Generals in our own army, who have applied the lash least frequently to the backs of their offending soldiers, have found the least occasion for having recourse to so brutal an expedient. Facts, as well as reason, will be found in this case to prove what has been so often proved in the case of the punishment of death for crimes of minor magnitude, ,namely, that examples in which the punishment so far exceeds the offence are no examples at all. Instead of inspiring a detestation of the offence, they inspire sym pathy for the offender, whom they regard in no other light than that of a victim. It is notorious that re spect for the laws, or obedience to them, have never been effectually inculcated by the gallows ; it is equally demonstrable that the laceration of the body of a fellow soldier does not uphold the discipline of the army. There is, besides, something degrading to a man in his own estimation, to be every moment haunted by the idea that he is so much at the mercy of his superiors in the army as to be liable to be flogged in the pre sence of his comrades for the most trivial offence. The very thought inspires him with such a strong detesta tion of the service, that instead of performing his duty from the more elevated motives of honour, love of country, &c., he does it from a principle of slavish fear. Need we ask whether he who performs his duty from either of the former principles, or he who per forms it from the latter principle, is likely to prove the best soldier ? There are various modes of punish ment of sufficient severity which might be resorted to to enforce a system of strict military discipline, with out having recourse to this revolting practice. Until these have been tried and found ineffectual, let us not be told that nothing but " flogging will preserve disci pline in the army. "--Morning Advertiser. Mr. O'Connell assures his entertainers at Notting ham that, if the House of Lords shall be mad enough to crush the measures which he deems indispensable for what lie calls " juStice to Ireland," lie will let his thunder sleep no longer. From that hour, says Mr. O'Connell, " the Union is but a cobweb." This is really too bad. IVIr. O'Connell should not so cruelly insult the weakness of those whom he condescends to call his friends. They, indeed, have pronounced their determination to uphold the Union with their lives. But if the Lords wrest the property of the Irish Cor porations from his grasp, and decline to hand over the revenues of the Irish Church to his direction —presto, " the Union is but a cobweb." For the Union Mr. S. Rice may calculate ; for the Union Lord Morpeth may declaim ; Lord Melbourne may study for its defence ; Lord Gleneig may wake for its rescue. All will be in vain—" the Union is but a cobweb." Nay, the House of Commons may pledge itself by the solemnity of a recorded reso lution to the maintenance of the Union, and the Sovereign may denounce the enemies of the Union almost as rebels to his throne. Bah ! the Union is but a cobweb. We shall have an opportunity, h osv ever, of trying the prophetic , powers of M r .

OLD COURT. (Continued from The Sun of Yesterday.) monarsoN's PILLS.-MANSLAUGHTER. Ann Mackenzie examined—ls wife of John Mackenzie, deceased: An inquest was held on him last February. His age when he died was 32. He had never been ill. She never heard him complain. Knows a woman called Anne L ane: Sh e was &ina n eedle-work at witness's house. She rtientinned that s'ett vended pills: She recom mended some to the deceased. He was much averse to them at first ; but Anne Lane brought sonic works, and at last he consented to take some. He was in perfect health at the ti me . H e t oo k th em as an o pening medicine, and expressed himself light and well after them. The deceased was afterwards attacked by a rheumatic affection of the knee, and Anne Lane recommended the prisoner as a pro per person to consult. The prisoner said, on coming, that he had b een t o ld b y Mi ss L ane th a t C a pt. Mackenzie was 111, and he h a d come • accor di ng l y . Wit ness t o ld him that Miss Lane ought not to have done so, as Capt. Mackenzie was well enough, and could send for advice for himself, if necessary. The knee got worse afterwards, and witness recom mended him to send for the prisoner. The deceased did not complain of any ailment but that affecting his knee when Mr. Salmon called. The deceased was ordered to take 20 pills at night. His own packet consisted of No. 2 pills. Those called No. I were purchased from Miss Lane. The deceased was to take 20 of No. 1 at night, and 20 of N . 2in th e morn i ng . Wit ness a d m i n i s t ere d h a lf the quantity to him. The prisoner called next mcrning, and inquired if the pills had been given, and On •the receiving an answer in the affirmative, ordered an increase of five pills every dose. The prisoner called day by day, until Mr. Cummins was called in, The largest dose witness ever gave her husband was 15 or 20. Sometimes she gave none, but whenever she gave a dose at night, she gave another in the morning. The prisoner recommended hot water and salt, to enable him to get every thing off his stomach easily. He also said that the fever would feed her husband without any victuals. Witness replied that there was no fever, he was perfectly cool. The deceased began at this time to he exceedingly weak, so much so :that he could scarcely get out of bed ; this was five days after the prisoner had prescribed the first dose. Witness informed the prisoner of her husband's state, but he said she was alarming herself unnecessarily, and that if a sufficient quantity of pills was given he would be well in a few days. On the Tuesday night the deceased took a turn about one o'clock, he seemed to be quite delirious. Witness sent for Mr. Greg, by her hus band's orders, on the Wednesday morning, to see what that man, the prisoner, was doing with him. That gen tleman recommended that a medical man should be called in. Mr. Cummins accordingly paid a visit. The pri soner came the same day. Witness did not inform him that Mr. Cummins had been at the house. The deceased was at that time quite delirious. The prisoner called again at ten o'clock, and ordered 25 pills to compose him. The de ceased was much worse towards night. When the prisoner came, she told him of the dangerous state of her husband, and desired him to be on his guard as to the consequences. The prisoner said it was all unnecessary alarm, and gave himself to the deceased 25 pills in some jelly. He dis trusted witness, he said, and therefore gave the dose him self. He said at that time that he would not allow any medical man to interfere. He would turn any such out of the house. The prisoner came next day at two o'clock. Witness's husband was much worse. She told the prisoner of her husband's state. She had done so all along. He ordered 35 pills to be given at three o'clock precisely. Witness informed him that her husband could not take them, as he was vomiting them up mixed with quantities of blood. The prisoner said he would call on Miss Lane, and order her to bring some pills. She came and brought a packet. Witness paid for it 13s. 21d. Witness gave her husband 25 pills and a box of powders that day, in place of 35 pills and the powders ordered by the prisoner. Miss Lane ordered a glass of brandy and water.—(Sir F. Pollock here objected to this evidence as implicating the prisoner, as Miss Lane could not be considered as the prisoner's agent.) The prisoner called next day, and inquired if anything had been given to the deceased ? A negative answer was given. He then took out two papers containing powders, and calling for a cup, mixed them with cold water. The prisoner went down stairs, and in a few minutes the deceased vomited up the powders with a great quantity of blood. Witness sent down for the prisoner, who said that there was always straggling blood in a person's inside, and that there was no occasion for alarm. The deceased said, "My dear, he has poisoned me." Mr. Greg asked him if he was enrolled as a surgeon, and he answered, yes. Mr. Greg then sent for Mr. Cummins, and he attonded. Her husband was worse and worse each hour. The prisoner came, again in the evening, and asked for a glass of brandy and milk to give her husband. Witness refused to give it. She told the prisoner that a medical man had been there, and that a physician would call again in the day. The prisoner ap peared very much disturbed. Many questions were asked by Captain Allen and Mr. Greg of the prisoner. He always said he was a medical man. He said, on going away, that he would return in the morning and bring a physician. This was on the Friday. Mr. Cummins came next day, and brought a medical man. The prisoner came also accompanied by Dr. Lynch. Witness refused them admittance. The deceased got worse, and on the Satur nay night he got cold, and on the Monday morning, at three o'clock, he ceased to live. No medicine whatever was given him front the time the prisoner left. Some chicken broth was given ; nothing more. Mrs. Mackenzie was cross-examined at considerable length, and she admitted that she had not followed the directions given her by the prisoner in the administration of the pills. The evidence of the medical gentlemen, which appeared at very great length at the time of the Coroner's inquest, was then gone into. This was the case for the prosecution. The prisoner, in his defence, read a long statement, in which he declared that the death of the deceased had been occasioned by Mrs. Mackenzie neglecting to obey his di rections, by administering the proper quantity of pills. Mrs. Beffin had been troubled with disorders from her childhood, and consulted different medical men, but received no relief, until she heard of Morrison's pills. She gradually increased the doses, until she took 20 at night and 20 in the morning. On some occasions she had taken 30 at night. She found the greatest benefit from the largest doses. The pills had done her an immense deal of good. Mr. Salmon never charged her anything for his attendance. Several other witnesses, whose evidence was similar to that of Mrs. Beffin, appeared in favour of the prisoner. The Learned Judge summed up the evidence to the Jury, who retired, and at three returned into the Court, and gave a verdict of Guilty. The Jury recommended him to mercy, on the ground of his being the vendor only of the pills. NEW COURT. James David White, an attorney's clerk, aged twenty-one was indicted for forging and uttering a cheque or order for the payment of the sum of 2121., with intent to defraud W. Osbaldeston, Esq.. to whom he was a servant. The prosecutor was called, when he stated that the pri soner had been in his employ six years, and down to the present transaction his conduct had been unexceptionable. Several gentlemen (many being in attendance) deposed to the good character of the young man, and the high re spectability of his family and connexions. Mr. Justice PATTERSON said that the Court had no dis cretion but to sentence the prisoner to transportation for life. He supposed, however, that the object of giving that evidence was that it might find its way to a higher quarter where power existed to mitigate the punishment. Eliza Smith, a well-dressed young woman, was indicted for stealing a 101. bank -note, a watch, four rings, and other articles of jewellery, value 151., the property of Charles Topliss, in the dwelling-house of William Burrows. It appeared by the evidence of the prosecutor, that he occupied apartments in the house of Mr. Burrows, and at the time of the robbery his wife was on a visit in the country. He met the prisoner in the street, and became enamoured of her. Mr. Sergeant ARABIN.—And I suppose you took her home as a substitute for your lawful wife ?—(Laughter.) The prosecutor admitted that fact, and said they went to bed in the regular way. When he awoke the next morn ing his companion had left him, after rifling his pockets and rummaging the drawers, from whence she purloined the money and articles named in the indictment. The 101. note had not been recovered, but the other property had been traced. He used every effort to apprehend the prisoner but failed to do so for ten days, when he identified her. Several pawnbrokers produced the watch, &c., which were either pawned by the prisoner or by a person in her presence. The prisoner said the prosecutor had told a good many untruths, and that was all she had to say. The Jury, without hesitation, returned a verdict of Guilty. The prosecutor applied for his expenses. Mr. Sergeant ARABIN—Sir, how dare you have the ef frontery to make such an application ? Stand down, Si r ; and I hope your wife will be informed of your shameful conduct. AGES OF THE PRISONERS.

Gtifi Sporting Magazine.) MY DEAR Ma. EDITOR—:tt Vttmt;eA , l writer has ad dressed me in your December Number—see d!tfttlr.signed " A Dragsman"—on the interesting subject of coach a:dr dents, expressing himself, as such writers alone can do, very much to the purpose. The point we differ upon is not worth notice—in fact, when looked into, there is no diffe rence between us—l stating the cause of broken axletrees to be inefficient substance, and he, " the tremendous quan tity of , goods, independent of passengers' luggage to be carried,' alids a superincumbent weight, which, he says, no axl es i n th e wor ld cad stand.' The last assertion, however, is somewhat doubtful. How are the loads of our road waggons and the ponderous French diligonces sup ported ? It is true the pace tells in axletrees, as well as in horses ; but I never heard of an instance, though there may be many—of a road waggon axletree breaking, nor but one of that of a diligence, which I happened to see, and gave you an account, stating also that it supported the ponderous machine for nearly two miles after it was broken, because it had a security which our axletrees have not. But then comes the question, why have not our English coaches this same " security," or at all events something equal to it ? As to accidents from losing wheels, Ido not go so far as " A Dragsman" does, in passing sentence of transportation on proprietors of fast coaches who " use the old linchpin in preference to screws ;" but I would recom .mend to juries to give such compensation for damages, oc casioned solely from their use, as would in the end cure them of thus trifling with human life, for the sake of a very small extra expense not worth consideration. They will tell you they have two linchpins ; but if the principal one breaks, or falls out, the second is not to be depended upon, as the swag of the wheel breaks it, of which I have al ready given instances. Indeed, as all coaches, whose wheels are not secured by screws, have them, the fact is at once established by the several accidents we have lately heard of from the loss of wheels —one, indeed, and a most extraordinary one, last week only, in the North. " A Dragsman," says a first-rate coach-builder and con tractor for pearly all the northern coaches, tells him, " it is ridiculous attempting to put iron strong enough into the fore axles, while they load the coaches as they now do," adding the consoling fact, that " what he uses is proved doubly proved."* This being the case, then, there is no other remedy than an Act of Parliament to restrict the weight of a coach-load, as well as the height of its luggage, for which we know an Act is now in operation, and has been a little fortune to informers. But, to come at once to the point, there should be some means resorted to, to pre vent a coach being upset in the event of an axletree giving way, because, from the present rapid rate of travelling, and the necessary high courage of the horses, the accident is almost certain to be attended with fatal results—at all events with broken bones, or contusions putting life to the hazard. The idle wheels would at once afford the security, but they are objected to on account of their weight, and perhaps justly so. Yet I think something might be contrived to sup port a coach under such circumstances until the horses could be stopped. Suppose, for example, a strong perpendicular iron stay were to be affixed to each shoulder of the fore axletree— the hinder one very rarely gives way—with a small cast iron roller at the bottom of it, somewhat similar to the castor of a large dinner table ; would not—l ask the question—such an instrument produce the desired effect? As the roads now are, there being no obstacles to surmount, the roller I speak of need not be many inches from the ground ; but, indeed, if any obstacle were to present itself, no inconvenience would arise from it, any more than from the common wheel, as it would turn on its axle. I can only say, were a coach to be announced as being made secure against the dangers of broken axletrees and the loss of wheels, I would answer for its being preferred to any other on its road. I have an account of many, but wish I could name all the casualties of the last 20 years on the road—from these two causes, for I think that the sum total of fractures, amputations, and deaths, would form an appalling amount, and show the necessity of a remedy being found from some quarter. About six weeks back I was called upon by Mr. —, the greatest coach proprietor, I believe, in London, who was on his return from Italy ; and he expressed a wish to have some conversatien with me on a matter which so nearly concerns himself : having, as he admitted, had his full share, with his brother proprietors, of the evils arising from accidents on the road, to which I had lately directed the public attention, by my remarks at various times in this Magazine. He gave me to understand that he considered the cause of the axle-tree giving way to be often attributable to the act of putting on the shoulder at what is called welding heat ; and therefore af fecting the temperament of the arm on the one side of it, and of the whole axle on the other, as far as its influence is felt. It is certainly true, axle-trees generally break near to the shoulder, because it is there that the greatest stress is laid upon them ; but as shoulders can be, and often are, beaten out of the bar-iron, at one and the same time that the entire axle-tree is made, this objection is removeable. My opinion is, that the fracture arises often from flaws in the irbn, but principally from axle-trees not being made suf ficiently substantial to bear the superincumbent weight, and the jars given to them by the coach coming suddenly in contact with pavement or any other strongly resisting ob stacle. By the way, I have read in the newspapers of the mira culous escape the passengers of that old-established drag, the Leeds and London Rockingham, had lately by the breaking of the reins. This is an accident which can always be guarded against by common attention on the part of proprietors, and therefore passengers ought to obtain heavy damages for injury sustained from that cause. I have more than once asserted, that it is neither in the power of coachman or horses to break good reins by fair pulling. It is by not observing the wearing points—at the head, or back, terrets, or in the billets, that such accidents occur. Nothing but horses falling down should be admitted as an excuse for broken reins. Now, then, for a bit of French coaching: On the last day but one of the old year, business called me to the fine but sombre old town of Dunkerque ; and as you know my abhorrence of a Diligence, I need scarcely say that, with a good hackney in my stable, I had no intention of being conveyed thither in one of them, at somewhere about the rate of a good pedestrian's shuffle. It has, however, been justly remarked that, when we monnt a horse, we never know how or where we are to dismount him—and such was my case this day. On reaching Gravelines, just half way, the rain drove me into the inn for shelter, and seeing no thing for it but a wetting, I awaited the arrival of the Lisle Diligence, which I was told would deliver me at Dunkerque precisely at five o'clock. " Pray, Sir," said I to a French gentleman, who was eating his dinner in a well-sanded room at the hotel in this well-fortified little town, " at what hour will the Lisle Di ligence be here ?" " It must be here at three o'clock," was his reply, " because it must be at Dunkerque—twelve miles distant—at five, as the table d'hote dinner is served exactly at that bour." No " must" in the case, thought I to myself, and at half-past three it arrived. Well—after a good quarter of an hour spent in changing horses, and in jaw, off we went—myself seated in the back seat of the Rotunda, and one of eight passengers. We had only four horses, considered strength enough for a Diligence on good pavement, which this is—and as they appeared to have the use of their legs, I calculated, from the pace at which they started, that we should arrive at Dunkerque somewhere about what is called pudding-time. But, alas! how vain and delusive are most human cal culations. We had not quite cleared the town when the ponderous wheels ceased to turn on their axles. Full five minutes elapsed, and I thought little of the delay. A rope trace might have been four inches too long, or six inches too short ; a rein might have snapped, for the only time I ever travelled by this diligence before, a leader's rein snapped short off, as the horses were ambling along at the rate of five miles an hour, on good pave, and for the soul of me I could not imagine what broke it, unless, like the two lengthened beam, it could not bear its own weight. But guess my surprise, friend Editor, when, at the expiration of these five minutes, the conducteur, or guard, as we call him in England, started at a brisk trot up a long street, and then vanished. Well —another five, and another five 'minutes elapsed, and no conductcur to be seen ; but at the end of the seventeenth minute he arrived, accompanied by a butcher, with something well packed in straw, which I have reason to believe was a fresh-killed pig! Now all this may appear very strange to English travellers who are scarcely allowed time even to look at a pig in any shape, much less to wait for his death ; but the strange part of the story is yet to come. It is the almost incredible fact that not a murmur escaped any one of the passengers durin ,, this una ccoun t a bl e d e l ay, whereas had they been English,' instead of French and Flemish, as many damns would have been bestowed on Monsieur le Conducteur and his pig as there were spokes in the wheel of the machine in which they were sitting. Now comes the climax. At 10 minutes to six we ar rived from Dunkerque ; and myself and another passenger were ushered to a dinner—a scanty one at best—which about a dozen hungry persons had been at work at, for good fifty minutes before our arrival. The result may be imagined. A few cold scraps were put before us which we would not eat, but which my fellow traveller—a stout Hibernian—de clared would have found ample stowage under his own waist coat with some room to spare. Such conduct as this is too bad ; but don't let it be imagined that it is peculiar to France! English innkeepers are for the most part shame lessly indiffer en t to the comfort of coach passengers, and ought to be shown up for it oftener than they are. What must a Frenchman think of the supper set before those of a Dover night coach ? And 1 could never account for this want of respect towards coach passengers ; as innkeepers must be aware that some of the wealthiest of the Aristo proved? • * Query-11°u' --"----------------7---"-- c a r u a d e , y u a o n ( d i o m u b e t r , cl m i merchants of of all til em nations plit a a: 4 e ioftenin against inns in which they have been both negleetek . , as imposed upon.
